-Patrick and Bridgett Bushell are also buried in St. Denis Cemetery, Shipman, Macoupin Co., Illinois.Patrick’s monument inscription says that he was born in County Clare.Close by in this small cemetery is another monument for Bridget, wife of John Dolin, who was in born in Dysart (the correct spelling might be Dysert) Parish, County Clare, Ireland.She died on 9 June 1886 at the age of 65.
